at least, that's what john mccain thought. after vladimir putin successfully pulled off one of the great global trolling enterprises in history, by placing an op-ed in "the new york times," making a direct appeal to the american people, mccain tried to do him one better, by publishing an op-ed in the newspaper that served a as the mouthpiece to communist russia. there was just one little problem. it is not the pravda john mccain was thinking of when he first hatched the idea in a discussion about putin's "times" op-ed. >> i would like to have a chance to have a commentary in pravda. >> the pravda that mccain was thinking of, that was the original state newspaper that for 80 years delivered what was literally the party line of communist russia. the current "pravda" is a weird orphan of that one and has nowhere near the influence "the new york times" has in america. pravda is the 535th most read website in russia. though to be fair, i don't think any of the other sites accept op-eds. zlat described the new pravda as a cross betw

. >> if he is hated, if john mccain hates him and we're beating up on him on msnbc, this is all -- >> oh, he's loving it. >> the thing is -- here's my question to you. the "gq" profile, the fascinating thing about ted cruz is he is a creature of the grass roots, but he is as much a creature of the american elite as any single politician in american today. the guy is credentialed up the wazoo. and when you read those quotes in "gq" about i won't study with anyone who didn't go to harvard, yale or princeton, that doesn't play very well with the conservative grass root, does it? >> how about the brother from the community college? he'd like to get a little bit of the harvard glow flowing his way. and you're right, that's the sort of elitism that doesn't get exposed too readily, that you do have this bifurcation of personality. i have my grass roots. >> that's exactly right. >> i'm down with the people, but only after i have my latte. >> right. >> you so, so that's the problem. >> do you think he's vulnerable there? >> oh, i think so. i think ultimately it becomes like swiss cheese, holes

this is a letter from senator john mccain and chuck schumer, democrat. we respectfully urge that any diplomatic outreach to iran re-emphasize the united states will not allow iran to acquire nuclear weapons capability and any relief will only be provided if iran takes meaningful and verifiable actions to halt its nuclear activities. do you think there's going to be growing political pressure on the president to not make sure that he moves too quickly toward diplomacy? >> i think there will be. but i also think there will be growing numbers of voices in our own country calling for a strong diplomatic effort, because no one wants iran to have a nuclear bomb. we all -- and my bill -- we call it nonproliferation legislation. we do not believe the world should have any more nuclear weapons. we need to disarm and that's the only way we're going to achieve global peace. so we're going to see both sides, i think, digging in. and the debate is going to continue, but i think what's important is that the president did open the door and we'll see what happens. that'

and if conservatives like cruz want to push hard, while the john mccain wing of the party say we should deal with reality and push for incremental change. >> there is breaking news right now, a reporter got his hands on what the house gop is planning to do on the debt ceiling. and here is the irony, after everyone said what ted cruz was doing was crazy and a stunt, out comes the plan to deal with the debt ceiling deadline, which we know now is october 13th, according to the treasury, that is as unthinkable as delaying to a obama care, that idea is exactly as dead on arrival as ted cruz' plan is. >> right, but just step with me into the conservative world. this is the reality that john boehner is dealing with. the more rational move right now, the better decision is to actually fight for a debt limit battle, maybe even put default on the line to get concessions from the white house, you and i discussed it before. doesn't seem like the best play for the republicans, but for the speaker establishment of the republicans that seems to be the best play on the table. >> and much higher factor,

mccain because john mccain has never met a war he didn't like and john mccain's response to the prospect of the u.n. security counsel resolution, which we apparently now have, was that it made him sad. he did not want this to be resolved diplomatically. that made him feel sad and what's amazing about that is that it's just him. that's a bizarre view to have. the rest of the country doesn't have a window. >> we're now showing the breaking news banner. i have to say, we were, you and i were both reporting on this in the run up to it and i was watching it when john kerry came to the nation when he made this argument for strikes. this is a train wreck. i don't think it's going to work, i think it's going to make things worse. with russia voting for it and chemical weapons is incredible democratic victory. >> on the day that the american president speaks to the iranian president for the first time since 1979. these are both the kinds of things that are not just unimaginable a week ago, but for the last several decades. i guess this is the way these things happen. you quietly work on these thi
